MY TESTIMONY WRITTEN TO SB26-098
TO: SENATE LOCAL GOVERNMENT & HOUSING
RE: SB26-098 STATE & LOCAL NOISE ABATEMENT AUTHORITY
SPONSORS: L LISTON, M BALL, G RYDIN
VOTE: NO
FOLKS:
So, question, if you are alone in a forest, and shoot an explosive, will there be any noise? Or will it be considered silent, because no one is there to hear? If a company is a non-profit, or any other supposed exemption you create in your bill, will they make less noise next to a neighborhood, than a FOR PROFIT concert company?
You might as well ask people of methane makes NOISE? Well it sure might STINK!
For decades now Colorado has had statewide protections for many groups, and concerns, including pollution causes. Noise is also part of “Quiet Enjoyment.” When the area is already in place, you cannot, or should not suppose that you can just with the SWIPE OF THE PEN, impose on their rights in the name of Money Money Money, or Non-supposed causes. What about the rights of the masses already in place? Colorado Springs sure is an example of thoughtless development.
Your bill is not to help non-profit organizations, it is to help FOR PROFITS get in through the back door of supposed DO GOOD! In this case the state has worked for decades to protect with accountability.
Imposing Exemptions to non profits, or anyone about noise limits to jump over existing protection seems even Shady. Residents in local communities need protection, and not more attack by WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING! We already have let enough wolves into the state! We are virtually a GULAG. In case you have not noticed, dogs, cats, wolves have more rights of protection that women and children in Colorado. It still wants to be our PIMP DADDY! Stop opening up pandora’s box to circumvent our rights!
You cannot keep compromising citizens rights in favor of big business, or fake non-profit causes that enable the absolute destruction of human decency, and laws of God and Man! HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
